I find it hard to believe that you think our town despises Americorps when it gave them over 3 million dollars to run their programs over the years! Americorps was never a town department! The youth bureau is and ML was the Ex. Dir of that, but the Americorps program was just that - a program run by ML. And further more, Americorps is a great program, but it is not being run correctly by ML. In point, the debt he has run up!
